West Virginia 4-H Recognizes 59 Participants in 2022 State 4-H Presentation Expo

West Virginia 4-H is proud to recognize 59 participants from 15 counties for their creativity and hard work in making their virtual presentations for the 2022 State 4-H Presentation Expo!

The State 4-H Presentation Expo is an annual event that provides an opportunity for 4-H members to gain public speaking skills across three presentation types:

  1. Public Speaking,
  2. PowerPoint/Digital Presentation, and
  3. Visual Presentations.
4-H members submitted pre-recorded presentations they conducted in their county level contest to the state-level contest where they were judged by a range of Extension Faculty & Staff, 4-H volunteers, and collegiate 4-H'ers.

Eight (8) presentations will be chosen to represent West Virginia 4-H in the second annual virtual Northeast States 4-H Presentations Fest on Saturday, September 10, 2022. This event is for 4-H members between the ages of 13 and 19. Registration will open in summer 2022.

Again, congratulations to ALL 2022 Virtual State 4-H Presentation Expo participants on a job well done! We cannot wait to see how you put your public speaking skills to good use in the future!
